Turnstyles??

[TDK]

Let's stop the whining, a win is a win and now we move on to St Merge.

I saw them score 3.

$BW clearly missed the first one. PearceOrf the second and I thought it was Mortein who missed the third.

Long drives make people cranky.

The 3rd happened because SBW doesn't get onside from the quick Sharks 20m restart, Pearce couldn't catch Feki, should have gone for an ankle tap instead of the attempted diving tackle.

Cheers mate I forgot that effort. Still it's harsh to blame PearceOrf for chasing and being outrun in that instance if that's what Rusticle was doing.

I do recall them making a break and Mortein missed a simple one at one stage. Mustn't have led to a try, maybe Mini tackled him.

LOL.

The turnstile is actually Mini. And I love Mini. But honestly im watching the replay right now and his last line defence consists of jumping in the air and throwing an arm out.

I have supported Mini to the hilt on here But last night his defense at fullback was diabolical It may not be an exageration to say he missed 4 times the amount of tackles he made

I thought he did go for an ankle tap.

He did. But perhaps he could have gone a few strides earlier To be honest I still think he would have missed the guy had a start on him which Pearce couldnt make up

The third was not his fault, the 1st try, sonny and mini missed but fark me Pearce looked like a clubbed harp seal, maybe his studs were not long enough but on another 2 occasions he just fell over when getting back in the line.

He was nowhere near as bad as Carney and Mini

MOrts has served us well but he should no longer be there, Give Kara a go.

So really only the second try was mostly PearceOrfs fault.

Mini saved 3.

SKiD scored 2.

But RTS dropped a sitter under zero pressure that very nearly cost us. In fact Mini saved his arse.

And $BW pulled off the real turn style effort, that was poor from a player who should be better than that.

Baloney and AV improved.

As did the performance as a whole.

And the reffing was its usual poor.

Haroldsworstnightmare is cranky. I blame dulux paints.

Cmon my friend i want some of what your smoking!! As i wrote my bit about minis last line of defence (which has always been poor) and i hit the submit post icon, Heighnington made a clear break, ran straight at mini, who threw out his right arm...again. Heignington went right through him. He has done it his entire career.

I think you need to redefine your definition of a turnstyle.

His miss on Wade Graham was poor and uncharacteristic but his misses on Feki & Leutele are just representative of a player who's always covering his team mates asses. He reads the play so well in defence that he's generally more often than not always there, covering on linebreaks down the middle or left hand side of the field busting a gut to save a try.

Sure he'll be disappointed to miss the ankle tap on Feki and to lose his footing as he was going for Leutele but he also cuts Michael Gordon down later in the game after he makes a break up the middle. If anything he deserves a lot of credit for being in positions to stop those tries that everyone else on his side didn't have the vision to see or determination to stop. Because at the end of the day if he's not there no one's going to turn around and question why our halfback wasn't chasing back, these are the 1%ers that players talk about that never get much of a wrap in the media or general Rugby League community.

There is only one reason Sheck is not full time fullback. Trent does not trust him under the high ball yet.

Has Pearce now taken this title away from Mat Gidley??

I have not bagged the bloke this season, i actually think he id doing OK, but last night it seemed he was being brushed away and run over.

I think his saving grace may be Carney who was Cordners speed bump most of the night

Different week same shit from the same poster.

I agree mate, Minis always been a poor defender.

Credit where credits due, he saved 3 tries last night. He got under the man and held players up and was desperate when kicks were putting him under pressure.

And I agree about RTS. I can see why the coach hung onto Mini. RTS has all the natural talent in the world but is too raw as yet for the FB role full time.

In that way he's similar to a young Mini. Too good to leave out of first grade, plenty of potential, just needs time to learn the finer points of playing a very important possie. Luckily like Mini he has a player well qualified to help guide his progression.

Of course they are vastly different skills wise, but both have followed a similar progression path.

Lets talk Minichiello.

Remember that Sharks break near the end of the first half. Two on one, only Minichiello to beat and he saves the day. That play the ball he's at marker in the middle of the field, yet he zooms across the field to scoop up the grubber in the corner to save the day again.
